<p>[QUOTE="RaceBannon, post: 1715304, member: 25357"]I recently finished up my "5 good Emperors" set and found myself needing to scratch that itch to expand my Roman Imperials collection. But I wasn't really sure which way to go. 12 Emperors perhaps? Maybe too pricey for now. I met with my local ancient dealer just to see if he had something that might pique my interest, and I was drawn to some of the 4th Century Emperors. I think these are nice coins at a good value that will allow me to expand my collection, and develop my eye for LRBs, while not breaking the bank. Here's what I came home with: </p><p><b>Constantinopolis</b>; 330-346 AD </p><p>Commemorative Issue AE 3; 17mm/2.8g</p><p>OBV: CONSTANINOPILIS; Helmeted bust of Constantinopolis L wearing imperial mantle and holding scepter</p><p>REV: Victory standing L, R foot on Prow, holding scepter and leaning on shield</p><p>(SEAR3890) </p><p><br /></p><p><b>Julian II</b>; AD 360-363 </p><p>AE 3; 20mm/2.4g</p><p>OBV: DN FL CL IULIANUVS AVG; Helmeted, pearl diademed and cuirassed bust L, holding spear and shield </p><p>REV: VOT X MVLT XX; Laurel wreath surrounding lettering; palm branch- TES- palm branch; star in wreath at bottom</p><p>(Sear 4074, RIC 227 )[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
